Dave Brailsford to step back from Manchester United and return to Ineos
Sir Dave Brailsford is to reduce his role at Manchester United under a reshuffle being planned by minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Brailsford has played a major part since Ratcliffe secured his stake in United in February 2024, stepping down as team principal of the Ineos Grenadiers cycling team to take charge of footballing operations at Old Trafford and investing considerable time and energy in driving change at the club. But after a season in which United ended in 15th place, their worst Premier League finish, and lost the Europa League final against Tottenham, Ratcliffe is planning a shake-up in which Brailsford will return to his role as director of sport for the wider Ineos group, as first reported by the Times. Under the plans, the former Tour de France winner and Olympic champion Geraint Thomas is poised to take on a leadership role with the Grenadiers when he retires as a rider at the end of the year. Brailsford, 61, has overseen a major overhaul of United's operations, including a £50m redevelopment of the Carrington training ground. Ratcliffe has scaled back some of Ineos's sporting commitments, terminating its sponsorship of the New Zealand rugby team and ending his bid to win the America's Cup. However, Ratcliffe remains committed to the cycling team, who no longer hold the dominant position they did when winning the Tour de France in seven out of eight editions between 2012 and 2019. Thomas, 39, has said he will retire after the Tour of Britain in September.

How to Win the Confrontation Scenario in Genshin Impact
Image via: HoYoverse Genshin Impact's Operation Downpour Simulation event in Version 5.6 adds a welcome touch of strategy to the typical combat-focused gameplay. The highlight is the Confrontation Scenario, a competitive mode where brains, not brawn, are the order of the day. From now until June 3, 2025, the event challenges players against each other in a tabletop-style battle that mingles base defense with strategic offense. Here's how you can take over this mode with clever planning and strategically placed units. The Game Mode and Strategies The Confrontation Scenario turns Genshin's verdant world into a virtual war board. You have two missions: Construct a solid defense to keep out enemy incursions. Create a relentless attack to break through your opponent's configuration. Most importantly, once you've set your offensive roster prior to a fight, you can't modify it mid-match—so strategy counts. Confrontation Scenario Set Up for PVP in Genshin Impact (Operation Downpour Event) Scoring & Rewards Don't panic if you don't win all matches. Genshin Impact provides rewards for stick-to-itiveness and effort. You only need to accumulate 5,000 points in order to reach all the rewards of the event. You earn points even when you lose, so every match helps. After you reach all rewards, you can still replay for entertainment or to maximize your score and strategy. Offensive Tactics Triumph usually depends on taking advantage of the correct unit synergies: Employ the high-HP Lava Avatar as a shield. As it absorbs damage, your Grenadiers can nibble away at critical defenses in relative safety from behind. Graders are ideal tanks. Place your delicate yet high-range Samachurls in their rear to cancel out danger such as the Suppression Specialist Mek, which otherwise annihilates airborne units. Wonderful for managing space and disrupting enemy pushes. While Spectres immobilize or slow, Mimics break and distract. Having varied units with multiple copies of good ones—that is, instead of being too spread out can overwhelm even the best defended compositions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Signs That A Heart Attack Is Imminent Learn It Wise Undo Defence Layout When building your base defence, note that surprise is on your side. Position Mek units strategically to cut off common attack paths. Target locations where enemy players tend to send ranged units such as Samachurls or Grenadiers. Also, don't group units with the same vulnerabilities. For example, if your defense is overdependent on airborne enemies, a well-positioned Suppression Specialist will destroy your whole formation. [Genshin Impact Event] Operation Downpour Simulation - Confrontation Scenario - Perfect 100% Winning Beginner Stage Strategy: Tips and Tricks At early levels, employ tried formations like: Two Hilichurls on the top flank to push enemy buildings. Adjust placements and unit compositions as you level up, depending on your opponent's composition and insights gained through trial-and-error. The Confrontation Scenario is not about sheer brute force, it's about timing, synergy, and flexibility. Whether you're a strategic player or a general gamer who just wants something different, this event demonstrates Genshin Impact can provide engaging strategy play in addition to its action-based core.
